Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 1073 - 1066: Seizing the Dao Tower
Ding Huan naturally knew he couldn't just linger outside Wen Dao Tower, pausing here and there for a while.
But he had no choice.
If he wanted to take away Wen Dao Tower, he had to first arrange the source principle patterns outside the tower.
These source principle patterns would eventually form various array patterns, including those for dimension shifting.
Ding Huan had a feeling that once he left Wen Dao Tower, he might no longer have time to set up these source principle patterns.
Therefore, he had to arrange these source principle patterns before entering Wen Dao Tower.
Ding Huan stayed outside Wen Dao Tower for nine whole days.
Ding Huan's unusual behavior had already attracted others' attention.
However, just as someone approached Ding Huan, he walked into Wen Dao Tower.
Hou Yucheng only sighed in relief completely after Ding Huan's silhouette disappeared within the restriction of the first layer of Wen Dao Tower.
This indicated that Ding Huan did not trigger the tower's confinement restriction.
Hou Yucheng began to pay attention to the communication bracelet on his wrist.
Ding Huan left a dao principle aura; if there was any danger, Ding Huan would inform him immediately, and he would leave at once.
If Ding Huan was unable to save anyone, then staying here was meaningless.
As Ding Huan said, he went to find Mo Wuji, and maybe could avenge Ding Huan in the future.
As soon as Ding Huan entered Wen Dao Tower, he sensed the clear Taoist aura.
In the first layer of Wen Dao Tower, there were at least ten thousand prayer mats, almost each occupied by a cultivator, all circulating the tao technique cultivation.
Ding Huan understood that cultivating the circulation in Wen Dao Tower allowed clear solutions to most problems faced outside.
This is also why Wen Dao Tower attracts a large number of cultivators.
Ding Huan finally found an empty prayer mat, and upon sitting, his divine will immediately seeped to the edge.
Chaos Treasures were numerous on Ding Huan, and he had even reversed the magical treasure dao principles of Chaos Treasure.
For others, perceiving such Chaos Treasure magical treasure dao principles in Wen Dao Tower was nearly impossible.
But Ding Huan could do it.
Inside Wen Dao Tower, not only did he sense the dao principles of the magical treasure of Wen Dao Tower, but he also glimpsed the dao principle imprints left in the tower.
If he wasn't worried about alarming the refiner guarding Wen Dao Tower, Ding Huan would have directly structured the Great Universe Technique and started reversing the magical treasure dao principles of Wen Dao Tower.
A day later, Ding Huan stood up and headed towards the second layer of Wen Dao Tower.
He spent the entire day in the first layer of Wen Dao Tower doing nothing else but detailing and arranging the source principle patterns.
The only way to silently take away Wen Dao Tower was through dimension-shifting means.
Mastery in anything opens other doors.
For Ding Huan, who specialized in researching great dao rules, laws of all things, and heaven and earth source rules.
From the moment he could arrange dimensions, all secrets of dimensions ceased to be secrets to Ding Huan.
At the entrance to the second layer, there was a great dao question that needed resolving.
Otherwise, one could only remain on the first layer.
If answered incorrectly, one would be directly transported out.
The great dao question from the first to the second layer of Wen Dao Tower was of no difficulty for Ding Huan; he passed through with ease.
Ding Huan moved from the first layer to the second layer, and then to the third layer.
He spent at least one day on each layer.
Then, using this day to continually arrange source principle patterns, before answering questions to enter the next layer.
Upon finishing the arrangement of principle and dao patterns on the forty-ninth layer, Ding Huan looked at the entrance to the fiftieth layer with some hesitation.
He couldn't calculate where Qu Yi was, but he was certain Qu Yi was above the forty-ninth layer.
If Qu Yi were within the previous forty-nine layers, he would have sensed her position already.
But once he reached the fiftieth layer, he would immediately be noticed by others.
Ding Huan hesitated for a moment, then stepped onto the fiftieth layer.
He felt he must ascend to the fiftieth layer.
Even if noticed by others, he needed to gamble on the time gap.
Wen Dao Tower had a total of ninety-nine layers.
If he only arranged source principle patterns on the first forty-nine layers, taking Wen Dao Tower away might encounter issues.
Because the time to shift Wen Dao Tower would increase exponentially.
If he could arrange source principle patterns on the first fifty layers, then the probability of taking Wen Dao Tower would more than double.
Ding Huan had studied various magical treasures and reversed Chaos Treasures. He knew the importance of half the restrictions to a Chaos Treasure.
When entering the first layer of Wen Dao Tower, Ding Huan sensed the magical treasure restrictions of the tower.
The magical treasure restrictions of Wen Dao Tower were corresponding to the layers, presumably being ninety-nine layers.
The reason it wasn't one hundred and eight layers, Ding Huan suspected it had something to do with the Stele of Questions outside.
Forty-nine layers are less than half of Wen Dao Tower.
While the fiftieth layer exceeds half of it, the significance of this layer isn't as trivial as a single layer.
So he had to enter the fiftieth layer.
Upon entering the fiftieth layer, Ding Huan saw only six people here.
Ding Huan sighed in relief, glad it wasn't just one person.
He spent another day on the fiftieth layer arranging various array patterns.
Then he walked towards the entrance of the fifty-first layer.
The original six cultivators in the fiftieth layer stared at Ding Huan in astonishment.
Just one day, and he was moving towards the fifty-first layer?
When Ding Huan reached the entrance of the fifty-first layer, this time, he had to answer three great dao questions.
The first question left Ding Huan baffled: explain the source principle, and detail a source principle array pattern.
Ding Huan was startled, almost certain this question was aimed specifically at him.
Or rather, aimed at individuals like him who could detail source principle array patterns in Wen Dao Tower.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to have such questions on the fifty-first floor.
The only possibility is that the person who placed the Dao Tower here also knows the method to take it away.
That is, to inscribe Source Principle Dao Patterns inside and outside the Dao Tower, and in the end, these patterns form a teleportation Position Realm, forcibly taking the Dao Tower away.
Originally, Ding Huan saw six cultivators on the fiftieth floor, so there must be at least one or two cultivators on the fifty-first floor.
As long as someone has been there, he won't look too conspicuous going up.
Entering the fifty-first floor, it's just for more security.
Upon seeing the question about the Source Principle Dao Pattern from the Dao Tower, Ding Huan answered incorrectly without hesitation, then answered the second and third questions incorrectly as well.
He felt a bit anxious inside.
Now that there are questions specifically targeting him, will Yan Yu discover what he did on the previous fifty floors?
The next moment, Ding Huan was teleported out by the Dao Tower.
What Ding Huan didn't know was that at first, no one really noticed him.
But when he answered the three questions incorrectly on the fifty-first floor in the shortest time, it caught Yan Yu's attention.
Ordinarily, any cultivator who can enter the fiftieth floor is generally able to answer at least one question when entering the fifty-first floor.
Ding Huan couldn't answer a single question and answered three Great Dao questions incorrectly in the shortest time, which was unusual.
To enter the fifty-first floor from the fiftieth, answering just two out of three questions is enough.
Almost all cultivators who can enter the fifty-first floor answer the latter two questions.
Yan Yu immediately checked Ding Huan's record of entering the Dao Tower, and discovered that Ding Huan stopped on almost every floor for just one day, which startled him.
This was not right, extremely not right.
Yan Yu rushed towards the Dao Tower plaza without hesitation, wanting to control Ding Huan immediately,
As soon as Ding Huan appeared in the Dao Tower plaza, he was surrounded by a group of powerful figures.
"I am from the Great Abyss Holy Dao Sect, my fellow Daoist, our Great Abyss Holy Dao Sect is resource-rich. With your talent, joining our sect will definitely allow you to progress quickly..."
"I am from the Long Shen Holy Dao..."
All the cultivators surrounding Ding Huan had the same goal, to recruit Ding Huan into their sect.
In recent years, finding disciples who can reach the fiftieth floor of the Dao Tower has been exceptionally difficult.
"Scram!"
Ding Huan didn't have the time to waste words with them. His Divine Will swept out, and a burst of Taoist Aura knocked all the surrounding cultivators flying.
Following that, Ding Huan rushed to the top of the Dao Tower, raising his hand to sweep up billions of Dao Dao Patterns.
The various Source Principle Dao Patterns he had set up earlier transformed with the fastest speed into teleportation Source Principle Array Patterns, and the teleportation Position Realm was rapidly established.
Roaring sounds of the void exploding ensued.
Great Dao Rhythms twisted ceaselessly in the void, and even the dullest cultivators realized they couldn't stay here, and crazily fled outside.
The void began to collapse, Ding Huan's heart was burning with anxiety, knowing this was the most critical moment.
As if destiny was mocking him, just at that moment, Yan Yu arrived and saw Ding Huan's actions.
He was here to guard the Dao Tower, so how could he not know what Ding Huan wanted to do?
Upon seeing Ding Huan's actions, his scalp tingled.
Could someone really be trying to take the Dao Tower?
If the Dao Tower were taken away, there'd be grave trouble.
Without a second thought, Yan Yu immediately summoned his Magical Treasure, slashing toward Ding Huan with a Void-splitting sword aura.
Space was completely torn open, and under the sword aura, countless void rifts appeared.
The Heaven and Earth Rules began to shatter.
Instead, Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew Yan Yu had made the wrong choice.
He feared most that Yan Yu would immediately send out a message.
Once Yan Yu sent out the message, the owner of the Dao Tower would definitely be able to take it away at once.
Fortunately, this Dao Tower was not Yan Yu's.
So instead of fighting back, Yan Yu's attack was most advantageous for him.
But he couldn't strike back, and he didn't have the energy to do so.
As the sword aura slashed through the void towards Ding Huan, his Source Universe City appeared behind him.
Boom!
The sword aura struck Source Universe City, turning the space where Ding Huan was into a black hole.
Shattered Laws and broken Heaven and Earth Rules twisted together, and even a Taoist Saint would have their flesh torn apart under these twisted rules.
Hou Yucheng, from afar, wanted to jump in to help.
But seeing the twisted Heaven and Earth Rules, the broken Law of All Things, and the void black hole that devoured everything,
He knew going over would be a death wish.
"Pfft!" Ding Huan spat out a Blood Arrow, his Protective Domain torn asunder, surrounded by broken Dao Rhythms, yet he still ignored these.
His hands condensed Dao Seals even faster.
"Away with you…" At the moment the teleportation Position Realm was formed, Ding Huan activated it.
It was only then Yan Yu realized he had messed up the order.
He should have reported immediately, rather than taking action against Ding Huan.
The reason he chose to attack Ding Huan first was because he believed he could easily crush Ding Huan.
That was the confidence in his own Great Dao.
As it turned out, he realized he was nowhere near crushing Ding Huan.
Fortunately, Ding Huan hadn't moved the Dao Tower yet, he still had time.
Yan Yu frantically burned Essence Blood, then sent out that message.
Even he hadn't expected that, as a Creation Dao Master, he would one day have to burn Essence Blood to send a message.
(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
